Washed Process Finca Medina
For over 20 years, we’ve been proud to partner
with Finca Medina in Antigua, Guatemala.
Nestled among three volcanoes, Acatenango,
Fuego, and Agua, the city of Antigua was once
the capital of the Spanish Empire in Central
America, but it’s now known for stunning
colonial architecture and the nearby farms that
produce some of the region’s highest-quality
coffee.
Antigua’s climate, high altitude, fertile volcanic
soils, and a distinct agricultural tradition make
this city an ideal location for producers like
Finca Medina, a company that has been
producing quality coffee since 1842.
Located in the village of San Lorenzo El Cubo, in
the region of Ciudad Vieja, Finca Medina
includes two estates, one named after the
organization itself and the other called Anexo
Portal. At both farms, the staff implements some
of the most modern processing technology
we’ve seen in Latin America, contributing to
each coffee’s consistency and quality. In
addition, Finca Medina has been a member of
the Antigua Coffee Producers Association since
2000 and maintained a focus on producing
Rainforest Alliance-certified coffees in recent
years.
This estate coffee includes cherries from the
original Finca Medina estate plus Anexo Portal, a
property that was acquired in 2016. After
separating the floating cherries, staff members
dry the coffee on the property's courtyards and
continuously turn it with large wooden paddles
for a uniform drying cycle before preparing the
coffee for shipment.
